CONCEPT OF OUR VOICES
Eastman Opera Theatre has responded to the challenges of social
distancing by focusing on the creative process through intimate, one-on-
one musical collaborations with prominent composers for the voice and
lyric stage. These composers are Anthony Davis, Ricky Ian Gordon, Lori
Laitman, Missy Mazzoli, Ben Moore, and Errollyn Wallen. They have
each curated a program of their vocal music, joined in group discussions,
and guided the process up to our November recordings in Kilbourn Hall.
We are sincerely appreciative and grateful for their collaboration with EOT.

This “innovative study” has taken the singer and pianist on a full creative,
collaborative journey with a composer, vocal coach, director, and design
team. From the beginning of the design process, the student performers
were part of the scenic production design process and worked side-by-side
to create a conceptual storyline told through text, song, staging, costume,
lighting, and visual projections. Unlike a traditional narrative opera, this
project offered the collaborative team more interpretative exploration. This
individually tailored exploration of the full creative process has provided an
invaluable training opportunity for the singing-actor as well as all the artists
working on this production.

  A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR COLLABORATIVE PIANISTS
In the planning of our 2020 – 2021 season, Eastman Opera Theatre charted
unknown territory as we worked on planning and developing a program
suitable for the vocal students and adaptable for an uncertain performance
medium. Our Graduate Assistant pianists, Rebecca Golub, Jenny Kirby,
Ava Linvog, and Evan Ritter, were assigned a wide-ranging repertoire to
play between six programs among thirty singers. They recorded their piano
tracks prior to filming the singer, who sang along to their pianists’ playback
through speakers in Kilbourn Hall. EOT would like to especially thank and
acknowledge the herculean effort by Rebecca, Jenny, Ava, and Evan, and
we are indebted to their patience.

MEET THE ARTISTS
Opera News has called Anthony Davis “a national treasure” for his pioneering,
distinctly original work in opera, chamber, choral, and orchestral music. He
won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize in Music for his opera The Central Park Five.
The New York Times describes the vocal music of Ricky Ian Gordon as
“caviar for a world gorging on pizza!” and praised him for “bursting
effervescence infusing songs that blithely blur the lines between art song and
the high–end Broadway music of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim.”
Eastman Opera Theatre recently produced his opera The Tibetan Book of the
Dead.
Described by Fanfare Magazine as “one of the most talented and intriguing
living composers,” Lori Laitman’s operas, choral works, and songs are widely
performed throughout the world. The Journal of Singing praised “her exceptional
gifts for embracing a poetic text and giving it new and deeper life through
music.”
Recently deemed “one of the more consistently inventive, surprising
composers now working in New York” (New York Times) and “Brooklyn’s
post-millennial Mozart” (Time Out NY), Missy Mazzoli has had her music
performed by the Kronos Quartet, LA Opera, eighth blackbird, the BBC
Symphony, Scottish Opera, and many others. In 2018 she became one of the
first two women to receive a mainstage commission from the
Metropolitan Opera and was also nominated for a Grammy award.
The work of Ben Moore has been called “brilliant” and “gorgeously lyrical”
by the New York Times; Opera News has praised the “easy tunefulness” and
“romantic sweep” of his songs, which have been performed by such singers as
Deborah Voigt, Susan Graham, Frederica von Stade, Isabel Leonard,
Lawrence Brownlee, Robert White, Nathan Gunn, and Audra McDonald.
Errollyn Wallen—“renaissance woman of contemporary British music” (The
Observer)—is as respected a singer-songwriter of pop-influenced songs as she is
a composer of contemporary new music. Communication is at the center of
both worlds: engaging the audience, speaking directly to hearts and minds.
